Last updated: 25/05/2026

This Advertising & Sponsorship Policy explains how paid promotional content, sponsorships, and commercial visibility are handled on Coffee Experts Global Club (“Website”), operated by Montana Hills Group.

  1. General principle

Coffee Experts Global Club is an editorial and discovery platform that may include both:

  • editorial content (independent selection and curation)
  • paid promotional content (advertising, sponsorships, and memberships)

Paid participation does not control or override editorial decisions unless explicitly stated.

  1. Types of paid visibility

The Website may offer commercial visibility options, including but not limited to:

  • Basic Listings
  • Premium Listings
  • Gold Listings
  • Platinum Listings
  • Barista Memberships (Professional / Honorary)
  • Featured or Promoted placements

Such options may increase visibility or exposure within the Website.

  1. Sponsored and promotional content

Where content is paid for, sponsored, or part of a promotional plan, it may be labeled as:

  • “Sponsored”
  • “Promoted”
  • “Partner”
  • or similar clear identifiers

The Website aims to ensure that users can distinguish between editorial and paid content.

  1. No influence over editorial decisions

Payment for visibility does not guarantee:

  • inclusion in editorial recommendations
  • inclusion in “Recommended Coffee Shops”
  • placement in any ranking or curated selection
  • permanent or fixed positioning on the Website

All editorial decisions remain solely at the discretion of Coffee Experts Global Club.

  1. Editorial independence

Editorial content is created independently and may include:

  • selected coffee shops
  • selected baristas
  • curated recommendations
  • randomized featured listings

Editorial decisions are not directly controlled by advertisers or sponsors.

  1. Recommendations and rankings

Any recommendations, featured lists, or curated selections:

  • are editorial or algorithmic in nature
  • may include promotional participants
  • are not based solely on payment
  • do not represent objective quality rankings

Promotional participation does not guarantee inclusion in recommended sections.

  1. Transparency principle

The Website aims to maintain transparency regarding paid content.

Where appropriate, the Website will distinguish paid placements from editorial content through visual labels or placement structure.

However, the absence of a label does not necessarily indicate absence of promotional influence, where allowed by design and structure.

  1. User understanding

By using the Website, users acknowledge that:

  • some listings may be sponsored or promoted
  • editorial and commercial content may appear within the same platform
  • visibility does not imply certification, endorsement, or independent verification
  1. Payment and sponsorship relationship

All payments for promotional services:

  • are made for visibility services only
  • do not constitute purchase of editorial approval or ranking
  • do not guarantee business performance, traffic, or sales outcomes
  1. Prohibited misrepresentation

Advertisers and participants may not:

  • misrepresent paid listings as official certification
  • imply that ranking is independent or objective
  • remove or hide required promotional disclosures
  • alter Website branding or badges in a misleading way
  1. Changes to sponsorship structure

The Website reserves the right to:

  • modify sponsorship formats
  • introduce or remove promotional tiers
  • change labeling or display systems
  • adjust visibility mechanisms

Such changes may occur without prior notice but will not affect already agreed contractual obligations unless stated otherwise.
